How can I fix memory leaks in C++?

To fix memory leaks in C++, you should ensure that every new has a corresponding delete. Are you using smart pointers?

What are smart pointers?

Smart pointers are objects that manage the lifetime of dynamically allocated memory. They automatically delete the memory when it's no longer needed.

Can you give me an example of using smart pointers?

Sure! Here's a simple example using std::unique_ptr:

#include <memory>

void example() {
    std::unique_ptr<int> ptr = std::make_unique<int>(10);
    // No need to delete ptr, it will be automatically deleted.
}

What tools can help me detect memory leaks?

You can use tools like Valgrind, AddressSanitizer, or Visual Studio's built-in memory diagnostics to detect memory leaks.
